A few of these would probably be happier on the Polytrack. They include The Name Is Frank and veteran Dvinsky but Commandingpresence is capable in this grade on turf and fancied to reverse recent Lingfield running with Simple Rhythm on 2lb better terms. COMADOIR has yet to win on turf but was just touched off by the in-form Bermondsey Bob over this trip at Brighton last month. He's undoubtedly well treated on his best form nowadays and can take care of some modest rivals, though the three-year-old Whitstable Native shouldn't be ignored if the market speaks in his favour.
